Benchmark: URL to key/value parsing

Script Preparation code:

        var question = url.indexOf("?");
        var hash = url.indexOf("#");

        var result = {};
        query.split("&").forEach(function(part) {
          if(!part) return;
          part = part.split("+").join(" "); // replace every + with space, regexp-free version
          var eq = part.indexOf("=");
          var key = eq>-1 ? part.substr(0,eq) : part;

Tests:

Manual parsing
r = getConfigFromUrl("http://localhost:8181/?viewer1.angle=123&viewer1.color=234234&viewer2.angle=123");
Regex parsing 1
r = regexMatch("http://localhost:8181/?viewer1.angle=123&viewer1.color=234234&viewer2.angle=123");
